"Make-believe" letters undermine the credibility of a finalist for the 2011 National Book Award for nonfiction
The Convert: A Tale of Exile and Extremism. By Deborah Baker. Graywolf, 246 pp., $23.
By Janice Harayda
Deborah Baker purports in this book to tell the story of an American woman who converted from Judaism to Islam in her 20s and who, after moving to Pakistan in 1962, has remained there. But she gives you reason to distrust most of The Convert by waiting until late in book to clarify a line on the dust jacket that says that she drew on letters that Maryam Jameelah sent home to her parents after she had begun her new life as Maryam Jameelah.
Baker says in "A Note on Methodology" that while her book is "fundamentally nonfiction," she has "rewritten and greatly condensed" the letters and rearranged the order of some of the anecdotes. And some letters are more than reconstructed: They are "make-believe" (apparently, Jameelah's fantasies, though you don't know that the author hasn't made up letters, too). A message on Baker's website, ostensibly from Jameelah, says: "I am satisfied with your book as a fair and just detailed appraisal of my life and work."
That note does little to bolster the credibility of The Convert, given that doctors said Jameelah had schizophrenia and that she appears to be mentally disturbed, whether or not the diagnosis was accurate. There may well be a fascinating story in the life of the former Margaret Marcus of Mamaroneck, New York, but Baker hasn't found a credible way to tell it.
Best line: Not applicable.
Worst line: "I then asked Maryam if I could write her story as if she were writing once again to her family. Having her voice pass through my own, perhaps I might understand her better. I wanted her blessing to use the correspondence in her archive, the doctored and make-believe letters as well as the real ones, to quote and paraphrase and arrange as I saw fit."
Published: 2011 (Graywolf hardcover). Graywolf paperback due out in September 2012.
Furthermore: One of the unreported literary scandals of last year was that The Convert was a finalist for the 2011 National Book Award for "nonfiction."
Flap copy: The dust jacket of the hardcover edition of The Convert erroneously says that Jameelah grew up Larchmont, NY, when the book makes clear that it was Mamaroneck, a mistake picked up by many reviewers.

One Thing
What comes immediately to your mind when you hear that phrase, 'one thing'? Ok, now you can keep reading.
You know that old phrase "one thing leads to another"? Last weekend was a prime example of how we get lost in what we are doing and can be easily led astray.
Our Saturday chore was to try to make some sense of the kitchen pantry while incorporating my daughter's dry goods in with mine. I've done that with each family member that moved in for a time. Who knew that this activity would become a wanderlust? We emptied out EVERYTHING! Then I washed down the shelves and we took stock of what was there.
If you think pickled foods and stuff in glass will last forever if unopened, have a second think. So, I opened and dumped things, rinsing out glass jars and putting them in a recycle bin. My heart did a thud seeing the waste. I find it abhorrent. It all looked fine last I looked. Quite the wakeup call here.
As we took a short break, we watched another episode of Marie Kondo's Netflix shows to keep us encouraged while we had a hot bowl of the Matzo Ball soup, I'd made the night before with lots of garlic, leftover turkey and noodles to chase away the winter germs. Then we watched natures show of beautiful snow showers.
Once everything was placed in systematic order, 'genius' here decides to pull out everything from the liquor cupboard and see what's there. Some was mine, my daughter's and my sister's. I played the game 'what one thing is unlike the other' and that led to cleaning the stove top. While I was at it with a vengeance, my daughter, seeing all the lovely liqueurs on the floor, thought it would be lovely to make a quick run to the grocery for ice cream. You see the link here, right?
Liqueurs and ice cream go together and we needed to be rewarded for our hard work and the organizing of such wonderful goodness. It would appear that I'm quite the lush but the liquor has been there longer than some of the pickled foods I had to toss, some much, much longer. So, in the event of an apocalypse, you know now what will stay good and what won't. Forget the food and keep the booze.
Next is the tea and spice cabinet. Oh my word, that could be problematic. I think the teas will need their own cabinet so what will have to go? Hmmm.
Many of the blogs I have been reading in the last couple of weeks are reverberating the same theme. Everyone seems to be clearing clutter and purging excess. Most people wait till spring to do these things. What pushes us to do it after the first of the year? Do you stockpile anything?
Happy Valentines Day everyone. Have a little loaded ice cream to celebrate.
From my heart to yours,
Marlene Herself

AP commentary: Prudent play paves way for Woods
Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus have never had a conversation longer than a couple of minutes, and rarely about golf. Maybe it's because they already think along the same lines when it comes to winning tournaments.
The Players Championship was another example of how Woods rarely beats himself.
Nicklaus was under the oak tree at Augusta National last month after hitting his ceremonial tee shot when he talked about one that got away, the first time he had a share of the lead going into the final round of a major and didn't win. It was the 1971 Masters, and he found the water trying to reach the 15th green with a 3-wood.
"I don't like to waste a tournament on one shot," Nicklaus said. "If I was today thinking about strategy of what I wanted to do on that, I probably wouldn't have done it. I put myself out of the tournament. One shot shouldn't be a shot that puts you out of the tournament."
The island green at TPC Sawgrass is nothing like the 15th at Augusta National, but it's hard not to think about Nicklaus when reviewing the hole that settled a weekend duel between Woods and Sergio Garcia.
Woods was standing on the 17th tee Sunday when he looked over and saw Garcia approaching the par-5 16th green with a putter in hand, realizing he was there in two and at worst would make birdie to tie Woods for the lead.
The pin was in its traditional Sunday location, the back right corner behind the bunker. Finding land is always the priority. From there, it's a bonus to catch the ridge that feeds the golf ball down a gentle slope toward the hole.
"The thing is, you can get baited into hitting it over there, and that's the hard part," Woods said. "I thought that the prudent play for me was hit it in the center of the green, even left-center, and try and hit kind of a pull-cut. It I hit a pull-cut, it's going to have a little bit of distance to it, and it might have the shape where it might land up on top and feed down. But when I hit it, a little bit of gust came up and it stalled out."
The ball stayed on the front of the green, leaving a difficult putt from 45 feet. Woods hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in Sunday. This might have been the best putt that he wasn't expecting to go in. The pace was perfect, 3 feet away, and he made his par. Mission accomplished.
Garcia, who two-putted for birdie on the 16th, was standing on the 17th tee watching Woods make his par.
The Spaniard won The Players Championship in 2008 in a playoff on the 17th hole. Paul Goydos came up short and in the water, Garcia found the green.
This wasn't a playoff.
Garcia, however, went at the flag and posed over the shot until he saw the splash.
"As the ball was in the air I was thinking, 'Please be right,' because it was straight at it," Garcia said. "It was probably 3 feet left of the hole. When it splashed, you think, 'Well, hopefully I hit a good shot after this and make 4 and still have a chance on the next.' It's pretty much as simple as that."
Only it wasn't that simple. His next shot bounced off the mound framing a bunker and caromed back into the water. He wound up with a quadruple-bogey 7. Adding to his misery, Garcia put his tee shot into the water on the 18th for a double bogey.
To say such mistakes never happen to Woods would be to ignore the final hole at Dubai in 2001, when he went for the green on the 18th hole and found water for a double bogey to lose by two shots. He has lost tournaments down the stretch. More often than not, the other guy beats him.
Back to Nicklaus, talking about Augusta National, though it can apply to other golf courses and situations.
"If you've got a 50-50 chance of doing it, I wouldn't be doing it," Nicklaus said about high-risk shots. "If you've got a 90-10 chance, think real hard about it, and try to make sure you eliminate the 10."
(Nicklaus said he has never talked to Phil Mickelson about this.)
Woods made a mistake on Sunday when he hit a pop-hook into the water on the 14th, leading to double bogey that gave hope to about a half-dozen players, at least for a short time. That was because of a bad swing, which is bound to happen over 18 holes of a final round. It's his head that kept him in the game.
"I stayed really patient," Woods said. "I kept telling myself, 'That was your only bad swing you made all day. You can still win this tournament.'"
He figured if he could play the last four holes in 1-under, he would at least get into a playoff. He played the last four in 1 under and won The Players Championship. Of the four players tied for the lead, two went into the water on the 17th — Garcia and Jeff Maggert — while David Lingmerth made a gallant try. He missed an 8-foot birdie chance on the 17th and had to make a 70-foot putt down two ridges on the 18th to tie. He three-putted for bogey.
Woods now is 52-4 when he has at least a share of the lead going into the final round on the PGA Tour, which does not count his playoff win over Tom Lehman in La Costa. They were tied for the lead when rain washed out the last round. Woods won in a playoff when Lehman hit into the water, and Woods hit his tee shot to a foot.
His four wins this year speak to why Woods is such a good closer. He has yet to break 70 in the final round in those four wins. He didn't need to.
Of the 52 times that Woods won with at least a share of the lead after 54 holes, his average score in the final round is 70.5. The 22 times he has won when trailing after 54 holes, his average score in the final round is 66.6.
It's all about doing whatever it takes to win. And when you don't, make sure it's because someone else beats you.

A federal judge is expected to rule today on whether the NCAA and four major sports leagues can proceed with their suit to stop New Jersey from legalizing sports betting.The ruling, which will be issued by Judge Michael A. Shipp, will likely decide whether the leagues have legal standing to sue over the state's plans. New Jersey gaming regulators are preparing to issue sports betting licenses next month, defying a 20-year-old federal ban that limits the wagering to only four states, unless the court intervenes.
During a 90-minute hearing in Trenton on Tuesday, attorneys for the state argued the leagues could not sue simply because they anticipate harm from legalized sports betting in the Garden State. Lawyers for the leagues countered that they have a direct interest in the matter because they produce the events that would be bet on, adding that wagering would raise suspicion that games were influenced by gambling-related interests.
The state has moved to implement sports betting under a law signed in January by Gov. Chris Christie. Casinos and racetracks are allowed to apply for the licenses, with state officials believing that sports betting will be a lifeline to the struggling gaming industries.


text: The Coffee Filter Wreath January 30, 2012 DIY, Floral Tutorials, Home Decor, Home Decor Tutorials, LCH Interiors 93 Comments 203687 Just like opinions- everyone has one now, right? Except me. And I wanted one. I had plenty of material too since getting a Keurig machine for coffee making. I was inspired by this totally gorgeous wreath at Jones Design Company. I wanted to make mine more all-season friendly, so I decided to leave out the berries and such and use more muted colors. As for the method, I didn't take any actual pictures during the process because I was sort of making it up (shocker, no?). I chose 3 pink paint colors (Folk Art, from AC Moore)-which I diluted and/or mixed until I got a color I liked. I had 3 plastic cups that I mixed various colors in. Then I dunked each filter in a color, squeezed it out, and hung it up to dry. I'd add brown or more pink to change the color of the paint water as I continued dying the filters. For the light creamy ones, I used strong brewed tea. To get a cool natural gradient look you can use a paint brush to dab different colors on the edges of the filter. Once the filters were dry (which didn't take as long as I thought it would), I began making the flowers. I followed the above tutorial exactly (which was a new way of making flowers for me!).***Update: My flower making tutorial can be seen here*** Instead of my usual foam wreath form, I decided to try one of the floral wire ones (like these at Save on Crafts). I wrapped it in strips of burlap (that I had on hand) secured with hot glue, and it worked perfecftly! Bonus: it's like 1/4 the price of the same size styrofoam wreath. Then I began gluing the flowers on, clustering some colors in certain areas, but also keeping it a bit random. It didn't take long for it to really come together and look amazing. I finished it off with a wide green ribbon that I got on clearance at Michael's. The Dollar Tree is a great place to find ribbon as well. Right now this beauty is in my booth, but if no one snatches it up I'll be bringing it home with me! 93 Responses Marilyn January 30, 2012 This wreath is gorgeous! I'm impressed!

Reply Rachael Evans October 15, 2012 Jennie- I'm not sure of another way to make the flowers (generally I'm pretty bad at paper crafts…I have to really love it to try it haha). What kind of colors did you use? I think making flowers in natural colors helps with the realistic factor. Sometimes I find that hot glue doesn't do well with styrofoam/foam…did you try a high temp gun? Reply Stephanie October 20, 2012 SUPER cute. I'm loving the idea of muti (yet still classy) colors!

How to Sharpen Crampons
Get a mill bastard (not again!) file, available at hardware stores and your pappy's tool shed. Clamp your crampons in a vice if you have one.
Should (can) you sharpen crampons instead of buying new ones?
Do you throw away your car when the tires get bald? No! Sharp crampons are as essential to safety as a sharp mind. Keep both honed as ginsu knives and equally at the ready.
Assuming your crampons are in good shape and not relics you filched off poor Toni Kurz's corpse, yes, sharpen them. Get a mill bastard (not again!) file, available at hardware stores and your pappy's tool shed. Clamp your crampons in a vice if you have one. If not, just hold on. Wear gloves so you don't shred your hands, or just go ahead and pre-injure your fingers by drawing a strand of barbed wire across them.
Hone each point, stroking in such a way as to re-establish your crampon's original angles. File until the points are sharp as piranha teeth. Only file the side-points along their two thin sides. Front-points, however, should be beveled into edges that resemble razors. Usually, you only sharpen horizontal front-points from the top, and give vertical front-points equal licks from each side, but this can vary depending on the design. I have, in a rush, sharpened crampons using an electric bench grinder, but you have to be careful doing this. Go slowly so the metal doesn't get too hot, and use light touches on the wheel rather than bearing down. Inspect the grind often. True liquid swordsmen get the crampons sharp by removing a small amount of metal. Again, wear gloves or just pre-injure your hands by shoving them into a whirling food processor. Next!

A child singing an anti-gay song for his church gets a standing ovation. His church says he was only singing what's in the Bible. But are they cherry-picking sins? "Walking the Bible" author Bruce Feiler weighs in.
I think it is important to understand religion before we can weigh in on this matter. Religion, regardless of it's origin, cultural or geographic origin, is man's attempt to rationalize his existance. Religion basically explains life. It does so in four basic functions: it gives life meaning, purpose, structure and discipline. Sex falls under structure in that it must be contained within the setting of a "god-mandated" relationship between a man and a woman for procreation-which falls under purpose. . Sex outside of that arrangement is a "sin" thus it must be punished. That part falls under discipline.
All religions perform these functions and are a man-made creation. People will always disagree on what the Bible, the Koran, book of Mormon or any other book of guidance says about sex but if we simply learn tor espect what other believe, then we can all get along.
Trace the passage of the bible through time. What language was the original? What language was is translated into?
What language was that translated to? Remember the party game when somebody whispers a statement to the neigbor, and they do the same to the next person? iIdoubt if the original bible even resembles the present one.
There is only one thing anyone needs to take away from the Bible. It was given to us from Jesus.Love one another as I have loved you. It has been 2,000+ years since Jesus has gone from us and we still can't get it right.God help and forgive us.
Jesus did not give us the Bible. The oldest books (in the NT) were written almost 100 years after he died. The stories were passed through oral tradition, and you should know how stories grow in the re-telling.
Anderson: Thank you for bringing this issue further into the light. I am a proud, positively, practical, progressive Gay christian man. I have spent my professional life trying to undo the damage done by those spewing hate under the banner of The Christ. I wish someone would have the courage to ask the hate mongers to stop defaming the name and message of the Christ through their rhetoric. If they want to follow the letter of Leviticus, let them call themselves Leviticans and not Christians. I dare any of these hate mongers to show me where in the teachings of The Christ it calls for the exclusion, degradation and death of any of God's creations. Thank you. allan
Hi, Anderson.
I respect your efforts, and Mr. Feiler's to bring awareness to a challenging subject for all. And, it is horrible to see a little one singing such hate in church and being applauded. Nevertheless, the church is us, and we are flawed. Nonetheless, we are all special, loved, and called by and to God. The thing to always remember is that God is fiercely loving, merciful, encouraging, protective, forgiving, . . . to all.
I grew up in a Catholic household and today, at 28, I consider myself a non-practicing Catholic. I do believe it is wonderful to have faith in a greater being, however, I find the Church's argument to be extremely hypocritical. How can the Bible condemn certain acts and groups of individuals and yet claim every person as a child of God and promote acceptance? Forgiveness of deplorable acts (adultery, promiscuity, et al...) is acceptable but it is unacceptable to BE AS YOU ARE? I feel like it can't be both ways.
I do respectfully disagree with you, Kimberly, in regard to two ideas. You wrote, "Whoever doesn't believe in God or doesn't follows God's laws are probably the ones that are gay." I, myself, am not homosexual nor do I practice "God's laws" to the fullest extent. I do like to believe, as I previously mentioned, that there is a greater power. And while I agree with the fact that we are not to judge others, I believe it is important for the media to explore these discrimminating practices, especially when degrading photos and videos are posted to the internet. Yes, there is a separation of church and state, but to what extent? Given the fact that so many gays are taking their own lives because of societal ignorance angers me. It may be stated in the Bible as fact, as you say, but once these teachings and sermons find their way to the public forum, discrimmination is discrimmination. I applaud Anderson for continuing to explore this subject matter. I appreciate the work he is doing and this interview was excellent.
I truly hope, as a country, we can come to a point where a person's race, ethnicity, size, shape, and sexual preference does not define who they are, that, instead, we can look to the PERSON and appreciate and celebrate them for their heart and mind.
Hello Anderson Cooper, Bruce Feiler, & Everyone,
Thank you so very much for doing this extremely important interview, about a Topic that I find to be so very near and dear to my heart, the true meaning the teachings of Jesus Christ, which are unconditional love & compassion for all.
I truly felt so sad to hear this sweet child singing an anti-gay song in church, and then witnessing the child getting a standing ovation.
I feel that avoiding judgmentalism, and embracing good loving judgment, and having compassionate observation, is really what the true loving spirit of the Bible is all about.
I applaud Bruce Feiler for communicating all of the absolutely wonderful information in his book, "Walking the Bible" and for all of the many other fine writings and various work that he has been doing.
Again, Thank You Sincerely!!
Why are Church's spouting hate? Are there not law's to stop this? Maybe, someone should look at stopping tax-free benifit status on Church's. This will help the economy........that would be a Christian thing to do.
It really comes down to hateful and judgemental people...as always!
It's very sad to hear what these so called religious leaders are saying. This is why I'm so discourage from going to church.There propheting their own beliefs in there own way, disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves, using the bible as a source of fictional facts.
It is really hard to understand when a Book they call Bible is merely stolen and taken without understanding why it is written and for whom it is applicable. That Book was written for Israel by the Jews while they were building up a Holy Nation of One God. If that was to be made known for all the people of the world or Egypt at that time, Moses would not need to get God's people out of Egypt but instead just teach Egypt to change their ways. Same sex relationship was banned because Israel was still building up a nation of Israel and they have to increase in numbers. Being in a Holy war and building a Holy Nation also mean that they should not desecrate their places and od what other nations are doing which is not Holy for their God.
This group sounds just like Phelps. What next? Anti-american comments, picketing our dead soldiers' funerals? As I said before about the Phelps children, I will say it again: I believe teaching your children to hate is a form of child abuse.
Dear Anderson Copper! It is written in the bible that men would be lovers of men; women Lovers of women and mankind would be lovers of self. Whatever God has revealed is living and true. For no man can alter or change the word of God as it was revealed. There is no lie in God and God sees and hears all things. There is Nothing Hidden in the eyes of God.
In the end all will be revealed. Every Opportunity Given to each and every one of us by God for us men and our salvation. The choices we made to open the door To Gods will or continued to do our will which is against God.
For in the end Gods will;will be done.
What scripture clearly states is we are to love the Lord God First and foremost above any and all other things! Be Baptized and if we sin! Go to confession with a contrite heart receive commmunion and go and sin no more. Repent and reform our Lives and stop giving offense to the Lord God almighty. Be Holy as God is Holy. If we live for the flesh we will die in our sins! sins of the Flesh! If we live in the spirit we will have eternal life for we who are Gods children have crucified our flesh. Dying to the concuspence of the flesh and the ardor of worldly desire and sensuous living. If we do sin we know that Gods Love is greater then our sins. God saves Jesus enlightens and the spirit of God is within us.
God knows our weaknesses and loves all his children! Hates the sin Loves the sinner. That is why He Died Once and for all. To eat his Body and drink his Blood To wash away our every sin! Not only Mine But that of all mankind!
Just because people accept that being gay is ok, doesn't mean it's ok. The Bible states that this is not permitted or acceptable. Whoever doesn't believe in God or doesn't follows God's laws are probably the ones that are gay. Read your Bible, it's states very clearly what God has to say and he will have the last say.
Also remember it isn't us to Judge people, the Church's should know that. Leave it alone, it's not your call of Judgement. God will take care of all of that. My statement above is just a statement of the truth.
Nice try, Kimberly Harris. You state that your alleged "god" should be doing the judging, and yet here you are sounding away on what we should and should not do, all the while clearly contradicting yourself by saying you're not judging when clearly it is your full intent. Your ancient iron-age book of unproven fairy tales also states that we "should honor thy father" – What if our father is a murderer or adulterer?.....as many in the "bible belt" most assuredly are. The bible always says to keep the Sabbath Holy and that it is an abomination to boast, to have idols, to swear, and to eat shell fish – uh oh...there goes millions of holier-than-thou "Christians" sinning away. By the way, Jesus himself never said ONE WORD about gay people...and some people are born with both male and female sex organs...in equal amounts...who should they have the right to marry or love? Get an education.
The bible also says gay men, people who commit adultery and promiscuous teenage girls should be put to death. Which one of these groups do you fall under? Here is your cure for Leprosy...Leviticus 14:1-25. Let me know how that works out for you.
I've always believed that church is for sinners. ANY sinner!! I know of a church that would not allow lesbians enter their church????? They refused to let them hear the Word of God. My God would not do this. He would open His doors and allow them to come in. No matter what their sins may be. It's really between them and God. Shouldn't we be more worried about the economy???????????? After-all, we ALL must face judgment someday.
Kim – the Bible was written by man, interpreting what was believed to be God's will and I am positive that more than just a little got lost in translation. More importantly – your statement about those who don't follow God's will are all gay – seriously? WOW
Too Funny! Your commentary on the Ridiculous featuring Miss South Carolina at the Teen America Pageant sounded just like Sarah Palin!!!

Editor's note: French actor Gérard Depardieu is accused of urinating on a plane and lands on the RidicuList. Anderson Cooper reports.
Anderson I have admired and watched you since that terrible day you were in the underground parking lot, barely hanging on, during hurricane Katrina! But tonight's replay of the incident with Gérard Depardieu, an actor I have admired for many years, was absolutely delightful! Your puns were hysterical and watching Gérard explain with all his earthy gusto was very funny. One might have said in this instance, "Que sera sera, what will pee, will pee".
N'est-ce pas? Wee wee? Keep on keepin' them honest, Anderson. 🙂 We'll keep watching. ~Barbara
Wait till your older,and you can't hold it!
I have tears running down my face I am laughing so hard! Anderson, you crack me up!!!!! Your laugh, seriously?! Hilarious!!!! Oh god, I needed that! Next time I have a crap day, I'm going to cue this video up again! Love it!
Anderson, OMG, is your next thing going to be standup comedy? I'll tune in! Not only a million puns, but bilingual ones? Impressive! Thanks for making me laugh!
Hi Anderson – I have been looking forward to the premiere of your show and it is as good as I knew it would be. Yesterday's episode - specifically your "giggling fit" - was exactly what I needed to pick me up on a really bad day for me! Thank you!! Keep up the great work (which really is a stupid thing to say, because everything Anderson is great)!
Anderson Cooper should do himself as a Ridiculist for his silly performance and giggling about Gerard Depardieu. OMG it was not as funny (his comments (puns) about "2" to me as it was to himself. Anderson is great in his serious stories, but missed the boat on this one. Respectfully Submitted. Bill
Anderson, you did not understand the joke. Gerard Depardieu has played the role of Obelix in several movies (Obelix is a Gaul in the comic series Asterix and Obelix who fights the invading Romans). The comic is a satarical piece about the French people and their culture. This character is obsessed with eating wild boars and that is what gives him his strength. In the clip, Depardieu becomes a hungry Obelix who needs to eat immediately, which is spoof on his needing to empty his bladder.
I agree that what Depardieu did on that plane was in very poor taste but perhaps he has a bladder problem and needed to use a bottle to relieve his discomfort!

Strange one would think that a world travelled reporter like you mr.Cooper would know that Gerard Depardieu was doing a parody of the event dressed as OBELIX, the famous french cartoon character which he has been portraying for at least 3 movies that I know of..Thank you, Bobby Jasmin.
@gdepardieux .In his rebuttal, Depardieux was dressed up as Clovis, King of Franks! It was funny, but his behavior on that flight was plain outrageous. I'm glad I was not on the same plane, So, no support from me. I'm from Paris.
Anderson, listening to your comments abt Depardieu's parody of his aeroplane incident was disappointing. While his urinating is worthy of being called ridiculous, your characterizing of his costume and humor was at best ignorant. His appearance as the iconic cartoon character Obelisk was immediately obvious, and calling it some Viking tweedle dee like thing gave away the ignorance. Obelisk's love for eating lots of food and his fondness for wild boar is as famous as Batman and the Batmobile in many parts of the world outside America. I am a big fan of yours, but this one made me shake my head.
Anderson, you are absolutely adorable! I love the giggle break. You never fail to make my day awesome. Thanks! 🙂
If Gerard had to go, why did they not let him use "the fully equipped facilities" they have.. He is old and most likely has prostate hypertrophy and urinary retention and just had to go, especially if he was drinking. Alcohol is a diuretic. Look it up. But he did some good, you had a great laugh and that is wonderful. He is a great actor and is still spreading joy. He needs no excuses. The plane's crew needs a mental check up. Grow up and let him use the rest room. What harm could it have done. That is the French for you. the knives have to be set just so!
you're absolutely brilliant 😀 !
It was so good to see Anderson cracking up. He made me laugh too – something that's hard to come by these days. I'm glad he's not all serious! Diana
I loved your Ridiculist on Gerard Depardieu. I was laughing almost as hard as you. Thank you for all you hard work to bring us news and information. I appriciate your journalism and your humor, even if it make you break down laughing. Keep on enlightening us and telling the stories of many from around the world.
this one will been shown in BLOOPERS buth abouth the actor : youv'nt seen nothing jet
I'm laughing more about AC's giggling than the actual news.
If there was any doubt before that Anderson Cooper is a complete and utter twit, one need only watch him having a giggle fit at the expense of Gerard Depardieu. Depardieu, who has a prostate problem, may be cured by medical science, but for Anderson Cooper, I'm afraid there is no cure for what he has. That was one of the most shameful moments I have ever seen on a television screen.
The very best part was Anderson himself (as if we didn't know that).
It was perfect and I could not help but laugh with him. Genuine laughter is contagious even so removed as over the internet. Adorable! TWO thumbs up! I'd give it 5 or 6 if I had that many!
I love,love,love that precious man-And
erson Cooper. Laughter is therapeutic and I will watch him giggling every day to improve my health.
I think that your RidicuList Re: Gerard Depardieu was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life and for sure anytime I am having a bad day or the News of the world is just too much I will most assuredly return to view your video to make my heart smile.....
What part of the airplane?. First or coach.
Re: your uncontrollable laughing frenzy reporting on Depardieu...I would have "peed" in my pants from laughing so hard...LMAO!!!
this was hilarious. Needed this laughter!
Anderson- I have been watching CNN for a long period of time because I think the channel, and your show in particular, really strives to report the news in a no non-sense, and professional manner-truly-fair and balanced. However, I have to tell you that my spouse and I really got a kick out of watching the Case of the Giggles episode regarding French actor-Gerard Depardieu. We play this segment over and over, and it still bring laughter and joy to the newscast, which is mostly serious and frighting. Thank you for making our lives a little brighter! -and thanks for keeping everyone on your show honest.
You have made me laugh so hard. I had tears streaming down my face.
It felt so good to laugh, and keep laughing. Thank you for not being able to "contain it" and "just lose it" in front of everyone. Perfect!!
Your "Case of the giggles" is also such good humor. Your laughter is wonderful, infectious and appreciated.
Thanks for 2 great "numbers".
My friends and I have been studying for the MCAT that we're taking in a couple of weeks and whenever we're getting fed up, we've taken to watching this as a quick break. Most infectious laugh e v e r.
love it!
Love this post!!! I, actually, watched this. I watch Anderson Cooper 360 every night!!!
This made him appear even more appealing than he already is ! ! ! Love his giggle ! ! ! And he is \
soooooo handsome ! ! ! !

Mexico Says It Blocked Plot To Smuggle Gadhafi's Son Into Country
A report in Canada's National Post that former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's "playboy son Saadi made plans to flee to a Mexican beach resort whose celebrity visitors include Kim Kardashian, Charlie Sheen and Lady Gaga," has prompted Mexico's interior secretary to say today that his country's intelligence service has broken up the plot, The Associated Press says.
According to the AP:
"Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire says the plan involved a criminal ring 'of international dimensions,' but it was quashed in September before it could be carried out. The son is named al-Saadi Gadhafi, and he is living under house arrest in the Western African country of Niger."
The National Postreported that Saadi Gadhafi was trying to get to a "multi-million-dollar refuge [that] awaited him in Punta Mita." It says that "to get him there, a Canadian company, Can/Aust Security and Investigations International, approached private security contractors in Ontario, offering $1,000-a-day to join the team that would pick up the 38-year-old Gaddafi and fly him, his wife and children out of Libya."
Can/Aust CEO Gary Peters told the newspaper of the plan, which he apparently thought Mexican authorities would approve. Instead, The National Postsays, "a Canadian consultant who traveled to Libya in July with Mr. Peters was arrested in Mexico City last month."
Saadi Gadhafi and other members of his family have been subject to a U.N. travel ban — and in March Interpol alerted its members that the Gadhafis were part of an "Orange Notice" that tells nations they should assist in enforcing that travel ban. Mexico is an Interpol member.
